But their squad have steadily gotten worse since those two. Hasenhuttl is not the first to fail with the current set of players. And when they have to rely on the likes of Danny Ings and Shane Long to score the goals...

True but again they look quite bad going forward, other than hoping Redmond can do something special they struggle in the final third. Some of its coaching some of its down to the players. They dont seem to work as hard as they did laat season off the ball either, which was a huge reason as to why they were successful with Hasenhuttl and why he did so well with Leipzig as well because it allowed them to be higher up the pitch.

And on top of that isnt it funny how ever since the Spiegel scandal evertime he wants a player or connected to a certain player ( like Grealish from Vila ), he comes out and say MC cant afford it, too expensive for MC etc. Funny that, cuz before the reveal there was none of that.

Arsenal, Man Utd not winning and draw between Spurs Liverpool would be perfect today.

Spurs & Utd won't win today. Arsenal are a flip of a coin.

you are probably basing Manure losing due to one game, the freakish upset that Norwich had v Shitty.

They are overall a fairly shit team, other than Pukki and a couple others (youngsters RB Max Aarons, LB Jamal Lewis and CB Ben Godfrey) ,and have tanked since that win.

IF Manure loses to them today, they are DONE in terms of the top 4, probably in terms of top 7.

they drew Bournemouth nil nil and before that

I'm not saying they'll lose, but they can't score to save their lives. Not sure how many games they've won already 1-0 thanks to a PK.

Norwich's problems haven't come against the big sides (despite losing twice), so I expect them to get a boatload of chances and get something at home.

Miguel Almiron at Newcastle United: What's gone wrong?

 

Around this time a year ago, Miguel Almiron was busy leading Atlanta United on a playoff run that resulted in an MLS Cup title and the fulfillment of a goal to deliver a championship to a city that made him feel like one of its own.

And the MLS Cup conquest opened the door for Atlanta United to entertain the international interest in Almiron's services. The winning bid belonged to Premier League side Newcastle United, which broke its own transfer record (which had stood for well over a decade) to do the deal in January. The reported $27 million fee received by Atlanta United was the largest in MLS history. 

The deal represented a landmark moment and Almiron was equally enthused, describing his move as “something beautiful.” And the excitement surrounding Almiron’s arrival was palpable among the Newcastle faithful.

The Paraguayan international made his home debut in late-February against Huddersfield Town and was a width of a post away from his first goal when a chipped effort clipped the woodwork. Almiron’s season ended early due to a hamstring injury, but during the 10 games he featured for Newcastle the club maintained good form: winning five games, tying two, and losing three. 

Despite failing to record a goal or assist during that period, his impact was undeniable. 

Against Bournemouth, he earned a free kick that produced Newcastle’s opener. Showcasing the type of devastating speed and control in transition that under the high-octane system implemented by Tata Martino propelled Atlanta to MLS Cup, the Paraguayan had run some 60 yards from the edge of Newcastle’s box before eventually being fouled.
